So, Sine Wave, ever gonna update? Also, I wouldn't know about the Danish, I just assumed it was correct! I was a history major, definitely not physics, but I think the reason I love math and science jokes is because you so rarely find them in anything else, that is, anything besides intelligent TV shows and fanfiction.

That reminds me of when I was in literature class in college. We were discussing Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice", and the teacher asked "so, what do you think of this novel?" One of my smartass buddies said "kinda slow; needs a car chase".

Thank you, and I'll keep that in mind. I like the sound of it.

As do I. Turtle necks are harder to come by than one would assume.

Thank you, kind sir. I spent a good deal of time thinking about how Leela would act on a date with Fry; I'm glad it paid off.

Plus, Your really good at writing Zapp!

“Kif,” Zapp said authoritatively, “it seems we’ve been bamboozled.”

"Primo-nation"

I am? I thought Zapp was tied with Zoidberg for second hardest character to write for me, the hardest being Bender. Also glad you liked it.

Our teacher was not amused...

I'm so glad I BS'd my way through senior English on reading half the sparknotes of that book. So damn bad.

Stop asking all the right questions! Seriously, just be patient.

Thanks again to everyone, you guys make it all worth it. I'll probably come and post here again when I'm sober. Bye for now.

Absolutely awesome update. May I give you some help with writing Bender? Most of the time, he's complaining about doing something, or his mind will tend to revolve around gambling, hookers, etc. Don't get me wrong, he is a hard one to write about unless it's wordless action.

Holy crap, I thought you were dead.Yay, now there's another good story going on...I absolutely love your style. Highlights of this short section include "Nasdaquiri"; "down-home voodoo tune"; "They have to sit around, talk about what they're going to do in front of the rest of us who don't even care, and then take the ship without permission"; and of course Fry describing what happened. I wonder what Nixon'll do when/if he gets his hands on him. More more more please!Ok, I'll stop gushing now...

Have I mentioned that I love your comments? Because I do.

km73 is right, you've got a style that captures the feel of the show perfectly. Don't think about it too much, just keep on writin'...and I'm curious about the Japanese mythology.

Wow, I have to say that I'm flattered. I'm also happy that the humor has eclipsed the plot/shippy aspects, which is I guess what might give it the feeling of the actual show? Man it felt weird to say that, that what I'm doing is anywhere close to the real thing. Tell you what, I'll just let you guys do it, I don't think it's right.

Also, don't tell me to stop thinking. Being able to think way too much about everything is one of the few skills I have, and I've learned to use it to my advantage.

This story is looking great so far. Oddly enough, I thought the title referred to the new movies coming out soon, but hey - Fry seeing the future is cool, too.

That (referring to the movies) was actually the only meaning to the title when I came up with it several plots ago (see first post), but it has many meanings within this story.

Thank you all for your wonderful praise, it makes me feel better than I should. And for those commenting on my rising from the dead, the concern is endearing, and a real motivation to get my act together and write more.

Rumo(u)r has it someone's writing a comedy in here... I just wanted to express my approval of that. I'm gonna try and jump back into the fray of things and start reading all you peoples's work soonish, I know how much a few friendly comments can spark creativity.

Yay! Update! Unfortunately I haven't been around much lately, due to other, um, stuff. But this really is a great story, and maybe i'll pop in occasionally to check for updates. That's basically all I have to say.Oh, and also, I admire how you actually get the characters to do what you'd think they'd do in an episode.

First off, your presence and acknowledgment is an honor. Your stories were probably the biggest influence on my writing next to the show itself. Also, I've been getting better about being spontaneous, I even bought some boots with a crazy green stripe the other day.

That sounds oddly like the reason I haven't been writing as much.

That's basically my entire thinking process while I'm writing. Since I try and keep the story dialogue-driven, getting the characters to say the right things gets them to do the right things, etc. Also I'm bad at narration so it works out nicely.

Hee. I'm sorry, I was just suffused with affection. For you to say that you love my comments meant a lot. And I'm just a sucker for good writing. Plus your whole previous response-post up there was just great, especially the parts about thinking and "the concern is endearing". You're a sweetheart. Ok, now get back to the writing.

“I’m on it.” Hermes said, and pulled up a hologram of a toy poodle from a projector over one of the counters.

“Here boy,” he said to it, “I want you to find ‘silicates’ and ‘ice-ten.’”

The dog ran off, disappearing for a few seconds, before returning with a list of results in its mouth.

“Good boy.” Hermes said. “Now, drop it.” The dog didn’t budge. “Drop it boy, come on.” It still made no response. “Hand it over you green snake!” Hermes said tersely and reached into the hologram to pull the results out of the poodle’s mouth. A struggle ensued, but several minutes later Hermes walked back over to the Professor and handed him the results.

This is my favourite part so far. I haven't literally 'laughed out loud' while reading in quite a while.

The mini addition to your story was as awesome as ever. I do agree that narrating is somewhat difficult, but I believe it's more the way you go about writing it. I'd say narrating would be hard for a third person perspective, but easier for first and second because it;s more about typing details.
